Bug#653373: rhythmbox: broken DBus method PlaylistManager.GetPlaylists

[Piotr Szydełko]

Package: rhythmbox
Version: 2.90.1~git20111117.f101562-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Rhythmbox does not return list of playlists names trough DBus

Attempt to call this method:
$ dbus-send --dest=org.gnome.Rhythmbox3 --print-reply
/org/gnome/Rhythmbox3/PlaylistManager
org.gnome.Rhythmbox3.PlaylistManager.GetPlaylists
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible
causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus
security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network
connection was broken.

error in ~/.xsession-errors:
(rhythmbox:7750): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **:
g_dbus_method_invocation_return_value_internal: assertion `(parameters == NULL)
|| g_variant_is_of_type (parameters, G_VARIANT_TYPE_TUPLE)' failed

It seems this problem affects upstream as well  (
http://git.gnome.org/browse/rhythmbox/tree/shell/rb-playlist-manager.c#n1639 )
..

Patch attached.
